Reviews (page 5 of 8)

It's fine, I don't think its that bad but it also doesn’t do much noteworthy. Mastering is fine, the music is fine.

Not bad might play it again Cali 70s rock/country

It was okay. It's just kind of forgettable and I didn't really find myself hooked at any particular moment.

This one has some flashes of really cool stuff, and some flashes of really forgettable stuff. Wears it's influences on its sleeve, but never quite lives up to them.

Really good, exactly what I want first thing in the morning. Really relaxed and intertesting. Highlights were "No Other", "Strength of Strings" and "Some Misunderstanding".

I mean it’s all right

6.5/10

I was Kinda enjoying and I thought of rating it a 4 but them I had to stop when the last song started and didnt feel like coming back. So it’s a 3

Alright, easy listening rock. Vocals were a bit twangy

fine nothing much either way

Good album. Former Byrds member solo LP, country influenced with strong songs and arrangement. Will listen again.

Not memorable

I liked much of this.

Quite enjoyable. It was good.

Some decent melodies here. Nothing groundbreaking or exciting, but not unpleasant to listen to and not boring. It’s fine.

A good album, I liked Life's Greatest Fool and Strength of Strings the most.

Pleasant but not sure if it needs to be on the list

Was a good listen

Just did not have an impact on me

Started off okay but I wasn't sure about it, but ended up really enjoying it by the end. Probably something I wouldn't listen to again. 3.5

Better than the other Gene Clark album on here. Why are there even two? I really enjoyed the production on some of these songs. Sounded very good when I was working.

Not bad, not my favorite though

Egentlig ret meget up my alley!

Pretty good!

Very modern country rock album from the past.

It's okay

As my step-son would say, medium

Day 96 A very interesting album with a terrible cover picture. 7/10 Highlights No Other Some Misunderstanding

Fine, but not very interesting

I did not go into this with much expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. The title track had a very interesting instrumental. Sad to hear it did not receive its flowers while Gene Clark was with us.

Not my favorite genre, but I kind of liked several of the songs.

приятный, вчера сквозь сон даже решила гармонии одной из песен ещё поисследовать, попозже

Really surprised by the slight psychedelic hint to the country twinge. Lyrics were interesting in some, but didn't really grab me.

Not a lot of variety in moods. It's a decent listen though.

Kann man sich gut anhören, passiert aber wenig. Eigentlich 2,5 Sterne.

Die Songs, bei denen etwas die Neil Young-Vibes durchkommen, haben mir gut gefallen. Sobald er aber zu stark in den klassischen Country abgedriftet ist, war ich dann wieder komplett raus.

Ja, war nett und ein paar Songs gehen gut ins Ohr, insgesamt betrachtet aber nichts, was mich total umwerfen würde. Cool ist, dass es mir sofort Torfrock-Vibes gibt.

Folsky…and gospelly? Definitely not British. I like it.

This just played in my head a video of a father driving an RV while the kids are sleeping in the back. I don't know why. I don't dislike it, but it's not that great either.

Enjoyed this. I was aware of the Byrds but had to look up Gene Clark. A solid album, if a bit Dylanesque, but that's fine by me being a big Dylan fan. A good mellow listen for lazy afternoons or evening relaxing.

Schön, aber nichts Spezielles.

It was fine, nothing particularly spectacular but I didn’t hate it.

I’ve heard worse

Interesting. He does have a good voice and songwriting. The lyrics are a vibe, but I don't know if I'm the target audience here. It's a bit boring and I feel like the instrumentals don't really get super far beyond where they start. The bass player is really good and the guitars are solid too. The music is good, but for some reason it doesn't have a certain x factor, but it is super chill. reminds me of a rattlesnake moseying through a gigantic desert on a hot summer day. He's a snake though so he's kinda chillin

Einfühlsame Lieder die einem berühren

Hard to pin this one down. "Life's Greatest Fool" seems country at the outset, and "True One" is almost like Kris Kristofferson, but the energy changes, and the lyrics are hard to follow. Rock guitar and piano. Vocals call to mind the Grateful Dead in places, Neil Young in others. "Some Misunderstanding" is a search for meaning by someone who seems heartbroken or world-weary. I especially like the line, "But I know if you sell your soul to brighten your role, you might be disappointed in the lights." Not likely to listen to this one again, though.

My favorites: "Some Misunderstanding" "The True One" Overall, a pretty solid 60s-70s singer/songwriter album but nothing revolutionary.

Nice album, didn't blow me away but some nice songs

strength of strings ok. All tracks are good. I liked it a lot when I listened to it for the first time. But the second time, I found it a bit boring. Good for driving.

i enjoyed this more than i thought i would. solid record, but a bit slow for my liking overall

I agree that this album didn’t deserve the hate it got on its initial release, but I don’t know where people are getting this greatest album ever talk from. Some good songs and a chill listen, glad I heard it but I don’t know if I’ll come back to it again.

This is the kind of album I would expect to come on the radio while I'm riding with my dad in his truck for 6 hours in the dry arid region of Southern Colorado.

This was kind of a wild ride, the genre flipped without me knowing. This is approaching a 8/10, but I'll stick with 3/5

Fav: Some Misunderstanding Least Fav: No Other It picks up in the second half, and it’s definitely not as boring as his other album on this list, but there are certainly sections that are boring. Can’t believe he’s got 2 albums…

pretty enjoyable! i liked this especially the title track, there is something very addictive about it. not revolutionary in any strict sense but still nice.

I really loved "Silver Raven" and wish the rest of the album was a little more like it. This is still a solid album overall.

I sat with this for a month...it wasnt that bad in the end.

Another one of *those* albums that's probably really good if you grew up with it, but today just give me Neil Young instead.

Reminds me of Neil Young

Standouts Silver Raven No Other Some Misunderstanding

I was shallow frying cauliflower as I listened to this. Overall, it was nice music to fry to, and now and again, there were moments that made me pay attention. I'll give it another try, one of these days.

Best Neil Young album on the list.

shocking in the extreme that someone who can make this willingly made all those byrds albums

This was a lot more country-sounding than I expected; while it was a little slow and vibey for my personal taste I did enjoy it. I could see it being the sort of album you put on and tinker around with stuff, no big surprises, just tunes.

I like the slightly psychedelic folkish rock sound, but there is something in Clark's voice that I don't like

is this country or is it Americana some nice tunes

This got better after a few listens. Really enjoyed the title track.

lifes greatest fool- 5 silver raven- 5 no other- 5 strength of strings- 5 from a silver phial- 5 some misunderstanding- 5 true one- 5 lady of the north- 5

🗯 The sound of ex-Byrd goes solo and leans into lush country rock — bit beige at first, but gathers some steam as it progresses. Ex-Byrd Gene Clark threw everything he had into No Other: lavish production, sprawling arrangements, and songs that some critics later called “godlike pop.” At first it drifted by like country rock wallpaper to me, but when it leaned into gospel and soul colours, I found myself warming up. That’s where the record breathes — in the swelling choruses and spiritual flourishes that lift it above its beige beginnings. Flop on arrival, the record bombed so badly in 1974 that Clark never really recovered, a career-defining swing that went wide. Decades later it’s been reevaluated as a cult classic, and I get it — even if I’d probably file it under “appreciate, not adore.” Verdict: Good (a lost classic that shines brightest when it leans gospel/soul, but not one I’m frothing to replay) For fans of: The Byrds, Gram Parsons, lush country rock epics that history eventually forgave

Decent folk rock album.

Better than I thought it was going to be

Touches of country in places on this offering. Like the other album of his on the list it wasn’t a hit at the time of release but this is much better and more atmospheric. Not sure it’s a classic though.

"No Other" is a pretty boring country album. It’s thankfully inoffensive, but it didn’t capture my attention either. The standout track for me was "Strength of Strings," which had a bit more life to it.

Decent album. I like the Byrds. Overall solid but not spectacular. I enjoyed Strength of Strings and Some Misunderstanding the most.

gene was the lead singer of 'the byrds' - i actually preferred this solo album to the byrds' 'fifth dimension' project, an album i reviewed just four days ago. i still wouldn't choose to listen to this again due to this folksy/country rock not really being my thing, but i thought this far less bland and empty than that of 'fifth dimension'. it was great background music for doing work on a sunday afternoon, though that's it. it had more intriguing and interesting instrumentation and melodies than FD and i found myself actively listening to the music far more, however it still wasn't enough and it'll end up fading into the rest of the 'okay' albums i've listened to.

Fine album.

Not my scene but not a bad album.

Quite ok

Fine music for its era

Strength of strings is a vibe.

Had to go back and listen to ‘White Light’ (also on the 1001 albums list) after listening to ‘No Other, to make sure they were both recorded by the same person. They could not be more different. ‘White Light’ is a snooze fest, whereas ‘No Other’ is way more engaging despite a few flat spots. You can tell Gene Clark threw everything he had into this one, and you can hear where the money was spent. Consider me pleasantly surprised.

Entspannt, unaufgeregt und irgendwie cozy. Mehr macht es aber auch nicht mit mir. 3 – War okay / Interessant 👌 Solides Album, einige gute Momente oder Ideen. Vielleicht nichts, was ich nochmal hören würde, aber spannend zu kennen.

Like Jim Croce but less AM Radio

норм.

A pretty good vibe

#DÍA 26: 1001 Discos Que Hay Que Escuchar Antes De Morir (English Translation Below) Hoy toca el estereotipo de disco que imagino encontrar constantemente durante el desafío: álbum de country de un tío que no creo que deba escuchar antes de morir. Gene Clark fue un miembro fundador de The Byrds que en 1974 decidió componer un LP en solitario de lo más ambicioso, una producción muy potente con una cantidad algo exagerada de músicos contratados. Consigue lo que quiere al final, el álbum suena grande, instrumentalmente es impresionante, pero poco más. Si que es verdad que molan los toques de Rock psicodélico aquí y allá, le dan personalidad, aunque creo que debió ahondar mucho más en ello. El álbum abre con Life’s Greatest Fool presentándonos una estilo de Rock Country con toques de gospel y letras poéticas y reflexivas. La voz de Gene Clark es suave y sutil, a veces demasiado y termina pareciendo un sonido más de fondo, además que su estilo lírico me parece bastante falto de personalidad. El gran problema de este álbum es que considero que le faltan momentos memorables, es muy monótono, sólo me destaca la canción homónima porque es donde más psicodelia hay, con ese bajo tan prominente en la mezcla que hace retumbar todo bastante. Por otro lado, Some Misunderstanding intenta ser muy grandiosa y un momento clave, pero no creo que a nivel compositivo ni vocal consiga crear un mínimo de momentum para dar una fuerza real a esos estribillos. La producción y paleta sonora termina siendo muy plana y seca, los versos se hacen repetitivos y demasiado lentos. Creo que una canción que apunta a una dirección parecida es Us and Them de Pink Floyd, pero creo que ellos logran un mayor impacto gracias a un manejo de la intensidad más expresivo, el cual falta constantemente en este proyecto de Gene Clark. En general es decente, pero no tiene nada que me llame la atención como para considerarlo una escucha necesaria. Quizá si el Country es tu género favorito pues sí pueda ser más interesante, pero para el fan de música general no lo veo vital. El talento musical es innegable, pero al final es lo que se consigue gracias a haber invertido 100.000 dólares (lo que hoy sería medio millón) en producción, la creatividad no está muy presente, y es lo que creo que hace que tanta ambición termine en algo más bien pobre. Aunque no es terrible ni ofensivo, podría ser mucho mejor si hubiese intentado ser algo más ofensivo. Favoritas: No Other, Strength of Strings Menos favorita: From a Silver Phial #DAY 26: 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Today’s pick fits the stereotype of an album I imagine I’ll come across often during this challenge: a country record by a guy I don’t think I really need to hear before I die. Gene Clark was a founding member of The Byrds who, in 1974, decided to compose a highly ambitious solo LP—a big production with what feels like an excessive number of hired musicians. In the end, he gets what he was aiming for: the album sounds big, and instrumentally it’s impressive… but not much more than that. It’s true that the touches of psychedelic rock here and there are pretty cool—they give it some personality—though I think he should have leaned into them much more. The album opens with Life’s Greatest Fool, presenting a country rock style with gospel touches and poetic, reflective lyrics. Gene Clark’s voice is soft and subtle—sometimes too much so—and ends up feeling like just another background sound. His lyrical style also strikes me as lacking in personality. The big problem with this album is that I think it’s missing memorable moments; it’s very monotonous. The only real standout for me is the title track, because it’s where the psychedelia is most present, with that prominent bass in the mix that makes everything rumble. On the other hand, Some Misunderstanding tries to be grand and a key moment, but I don’t think it manages to build enough momentum—compositionally or vocally—to give those choruses any real power. The production and sonic palette end up feeling flat and dry, the verses are repetitive and too slow. A song that I think aims for something similar is Pink Floyd’s Us and Them, but they achieve a far greater impact thanks to a more expressive handling of intensity—something this Gene Clark project consistently lacks. Overall, it’s decent, but there’s nothing that grabs my attention enough to consider it an essential listen. Maybe if country is your favorite genre it could be more appealing, but for the general music fan, I don’t see it as vital. The musical talent is undeniable, but that’s also what you get when you invest $100,000 (about half a million today) into production—creativity, on the other hand, is not as present, and I think that’s what makes all that ambition end up as something rather underwhelming. While it’s neither terrible nor offensive, it could have been much better if it had actually tried to be a bit more offensive. Favorites: No Other, Strength of Strings Least favorite: From a Silver Phial

Can a white boy speak a little country? *Slide guitar* I like the gospel music influence and full bodied sound. Strength of strings was a highpoint and each song has a sort of grandness to it. Not an immediate hook for me but I get the feeling it would be better on a second listen.

Decent.

Sounds alright, but I don't understand what's essential about it. Favorite song: Silver Raven

Not bad, not as good as The Byrds.

The first few notes and I thought this could potentially be a one star album but it actually grew on me a little

El comienzo del álbum presenta un estilo de música country muy tranquila y poco sobresaliente. Pensé que el resto del álbum iba a transcurrir de esta manera, y sin embargo, hacia el tercer tema el estilo cambia muchísimo. Gene Clark mencionó que para el álbum tomo elementos de Innerversions de Stevie Wonder, y se nota. Conserva el estilo country, pero utiliza elementos del soul y el R&B, generando un estilo más progresivo. Son temas mucho más largos que se toman el tiempo para desarrollar distintos momentos, con varias capas de sonidos (agregando instrumentos orquestales y sintetizadores). Varios de estos temas me recordaron un poco a algunas de las músicas de Bowie en los 2000. Cierta atmósfera meditabunda, nostálgica, pero con energía de rock. Lamentablemente para mi gusto, hacia el final el álbum retoma el estilo que propone al principio. Con un sonido country más genérico. No sé si considero que este álbum deba estar en esta lista, pero al menos pude disfrutar bastante de la sección media del álbum.

I really liked this, despite knowing nothing about the artist or album beforehand. There's a growling feel to the musoc and the voice. It made me want to drive down highways, despite not being able to drive. A decent find.

He was better as a member of the Byrds. He is OK here. Too country for my taste

The Good: We know we are the only one! The Bad: Maybe we should have had some variety, as it is the spice to life… The Ugly: Finding out that we’re the only one due to an obsession… Well, that was unexpected. Judging by the cover of the album, one’d think that you’re in for some light jazz, maybe a waltz or two? Then the music starts and you try to figure out what you are listening to. I’m no fan of the Byrds, nor The Byrds, nor any of the late ‘60s psychedelic stuff, unless it’s Hendrix wailing on his guitar. Thus, just by the name, I was not instantly aware of who, or what, I was about to be exposed to. It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t great either. It was just kind of no other… Reading the wiki information I did have to scratch my head as, according to wikipedia, Goats Head’s Soup and Innervisions were two albums that influenced Mr Clark while making this record… and those are two album which I really like—believe that the GHS isn’t on this 1001 album list, probably to make space for more bland crap like this album… Anyway, turns out that the album failed to make an impression, the artist blaming the record company, and decades later, when released again, it was found to be a lost gem… not for me though. Will I ever listen to this album again… yes, I will. Not because I found it great, but more because it makes me curious about my musical taste… as it seems to be a hidden gem… but not to me. Scoring wise, I am conflicted… And I really do wish that we’d be able to score on a scale of 10, as this would get a 5* rating

This started off just being another boring 70s folk rock album, but the further I got into it the more I started to appreciate a lot of the nuances. While still very much a part of an era of music I feel is far overrepresented on this list with so much generic slop, this one manages to stand just a bit above all of that and still has moments in there that show more of an attempt to make something more original and unique. One I think will grow on me the more I hear it.

ex Bird's singer, quite conventional

Can see how people enjoy it, but it's not really for me. Country/folk doesn't tend to sit that well with me. As some have said, if you grew up with it it's probably great, otherwise it's more of the same. Listenable if nothing else.

Liked it more as it went along but still didn’t like it much

An alright chilled out album, nothing too crazy and a decent listen but nothing stellar.

pretty good for a country leaning album, still not my thing but it was good

This was a pretty good album, had some songs that I definitely have heard before that I didn't know who they were by, and were stuck in my head after lol

This is solid when they bring back the acid, but sucks when it gets all twangy.

Meh - 3 stars but just cause I am feeling generous today

interestinf

Pretty down the middle folk rock. I really enjoyed the funkier guitar and organ of From a Silver Phial.

Pues no lo conocía y me ha gustado bastante. No me he guardado ninguna canción en favoritos, pero después de escuchar este disco estuve toda la tarde escuchando cosas de él.

after hearing the first one I thought oh great another country album? But then "No Other" came in, and I realised I judged a bit too quickly, actually an interesting album, exceeded my expectations! 3.5/5

Nice mix or country and soft LA rock off an album I've never heard. Good Sunday afternoon music. At times feels more like arrangements that songs but was worth the listen.

classic shit

Great instrumentation and production. Gets a little bit druggy on the B side which isn't my thing.

I liked it more than I thought I would. The history of this album is fascinating, look it up.

It was charming. Some good songs in the beginning, but it fizzled out near the end. Not the worst thing ever though

Just like Rattlesnakes! Same boat!

The name Gene Clark rang no bells and the album cover, looking like a New Yorker magazine on acid, offered no clues. So, I tried to listen ahistorically, but this quasi-country, Americana-infused rock oozes late '60s and early '70s vibes. Its gentle opener, anchored by simple guitar and melancholic yet direct vocals, sets a mood that's mostly well-sustained over the course of the record. The title track "No Other" is exemplary in this regard. If you've listened broadly to this era of popular music, you'll catch moments that feel familiar (sometimes uncannily so) and the whole record slots comfortably into the canon of '70s mellow gold. But this isn't just music made of its time and sounding only like it. There's a timeless quality to some of it too. The closing track "Lady of the North" wouldn't sound so out of place alongside "10 Mile Stereo" by Beach House. No Other works not only within its own decade, but also outside it.

Good 70s country rock singer songwriter

Decent,

A good country rock album not much else to say

C’est léger, ça groove un peu, ptit hochement de tête par-ci par-là… rien de vraiment spécial mais ça bouche un coin. - DÉSOLÉ CYRIL, JE CONNAIS BEAUCOUP TROP DE FRANÇAIS QUI S’APPELLENT CLÉMENT, ÇA M’A CONTAMINÉ Pour mon rituel d'écoute, je n'y vais pas aussi méthodiquement que toi. Je me fis beaucoup au cover et aux tops commentaire pour déterminer quel type d'album ça va être. Par exemple, si je perçois que ça va être un énième album pop-rock ou post-punk qui a mal vieilli avec le temps, je l'écoute en background en travaillant. La majorité du temps, la musique de ce genre d'album là perd dans le fil de mes pensés, comme la radio d'épicerie (ou super marché, comme vous dites). J'appel ça des albums mous, qui ne m'évoque rien en particulier, souvent des 3, mais dépendament de mon mood un 2 ou 4. Mes critiques sont très brèves, et tourne souvent autour de «pourquoi c'est dans la liste?» ou «musique de centre d'achat». Après, t'as les classiques, les gros bangers de la listes, ceux qui te font tressauter le cœur quand tu les voit générer. Dans ces cas-là, j'écoute l'album en prenant une marche dans la forêt près de chez-moi, m'attardant sur les détails derrière les arrangements musicaux ou les paroles. Je prend beaucoup plus de temps pour écrire ses critiques là, allant jusqu'à 30-45 minutes pour bien synthétiser mes pensées. S'ensuit les albums de mardes, collectivement convenu comme étant des étrons musicaux, le fond du fun de la liste. Souvent, je les écoute en faisant le ménage ou une autre tâche chiante, comme ça le reste de ma journée semble être vraiment cool en comparaison. Là aussi, je peux passer plus de temps à écrire ma review, mais dans un style beaucoup plus libre et instinctif, parlant directement avec mes ressenti et les images mentales qui me sont venu en écoutant l'album. Finalement, t'as les autres, les outcasts et underdogs de la liste, ceux que tu découvres (ou redécouvre) pis tu sais pas quoi en penser. T'es pas sûr si c'est bon, mais ça te reste dans le fond tête, te titillant deux semaines plus tard pour le réécouter, pis quand tu te décide de le faire t'es encore plus confu que la dernière fois, j'aime-tu ça pour vrai ou c'est du placebo? Un mois plus tard, tu relance l'expérience, pis ça te frappe dans la face: c'est ton nouveau classique. Faque tu enclenche le mode Edit, tu suis le lien dans tes courriel, et tel un Marty McFly, tu changes ta note passée en revenant du FUTUR. Ouf, ça fait beaucoup, je continuerais demain...

Not bad! Not incredibly memorable on first listen but I can see what a lot of folks are getting out of it.

This was good, but ultimately forgettable in the late 1960s/early 1970s folk pop wave. I think I appreciated Gene Clark better when I appeared with the rest of The Byrds rather than this solo project.

Neat mix of genres here, but overall a country/folk/rock album.

Não conhecia o álbum. Achei bem divertido. Celest Phoenixcall.

An interesting slice of folksy American rock. His voice is nice and the songs are mellow and catchy.

Not bad. There were sounds in here that show he may have been an influence to bands like Metallica and Bruce Springsteen.

Its like Walmart brand Neil Young.

I like Silver Raven, but nothing else really clicked for me. It is fine inoffensive music to have in the background.

Nice record, good songs on here. might have to add it to my list.

i’m not complaining it was nice

Pleasant, no complaints

it's pretty good but kind of also a little bit boring

Not much to say about this one, it was alright (2.5/5)

Mixed.

It’s tasteful to a fault. The kind of album that sounds expensive and sincere but also kinda boring. The title track’s got ideas - too many maybe. And “Strength of Strings” flirts with something cool, but even that gets washed out by the overly clean production. I kept hoping for a banger, or at least a moment of rawness. No dice. Not terrible, not great. Spins: 2 Playlist Additions: - Life's Greatest Fool - No Other - Strength Of Strings

Interesting music that sounds of it's time the music builds well. Nothing stood out but it was nice background

Is it a coincidence that this one came after the Byrds? I like this one better than mr. tambourine man.

Nice album.

A pleasant surprise listening to this album. Like it 3/5

5.5/10

So far seems very bland. Nothing outstanding.

Listened Before? N This was an enjoyable listen. After reading a bit about it it's a real shame that it was buried by bad reviews on release. Just an example of how a hivemind mentality can totally screw things up. I'm glad its getting its due now but what a travesty that it is posthumously. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: No Other

A little weird but nice

Too much steel guitar.

Solid country rock vibes.

Well, thank the Lord this is better than the last offering from him, which I gave ⭐️ Another in the seemingly endless number of CSNY and adjacent albums on here. At least this one isn’t boring, there is actually quite a lot of different things going on. It does tail off towards the end though. In an ideal world it would get a 7

I like it although there is nothing remarkable on. Very Neil Young-ish without the roughness. Weak three stars for this album. 2,5

Gene Clark, bekannt als Gründungsmitglied der Byrds, veröffentlichte mit No Other im Jahr 1974 ein Album, das oft als sein Meisterwerk betrachtet wird. Das Werk wurde in den Sound Factory Studios in Los Angeles aufgenommen, und Clark arbeitete dabei mit renommierten Musikern zusammen, darunter David Crosby (ebenfalls Byrds-Mitglied) und das Schlagzeuger-Quartett von The Eagles. No Other lässt sich schwer einem einzelnen Genre zuordnen, es kombiniert Elemente aus Folk-Rock, Country und Psychedelic, während die Produktion bisweilen den Klang des damals aufkommenden Soft-Rocks widerspiegelt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Titeltrack „No Other“, der mit seinen stimmigen Orchestrierungen und Clark's eindrucksvollem Gesang eine Atmosphäre von Melancholie und Exzentrik erzeugt. Weitere bemerkenswerte Stücke wie „Strength of Strings“ und „Some Misunderstanding“ zeigen Clarks außergewöhnliche Fähigkeit, introspektive Texte mit musikalischer Tiefe zu verbinden. Die Nationalität des Interpreten, ein US-Amerikaner, spiegelt sich auch in der traditionellen Folktradition wider, die auf diesem Album mitschwingt, jedoch ergänzt durch Clark's eigene, eher unorthodoxe Herangehensweise. Die Produktion von Thomas Jefferson Kaye trägt zur Mischung aus weichen, aber auch intensiven Klangwelten bei. Insgesamt ist No Other ein Album, das sich durch eine ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Genres und eine hohe künstlerische Ambition auszeichnet. Die kritische Anerkennung, die es trotz seines anfänglichen kommerziellen Misserfolges später erhielt, zeigt die unterschätzte Bedeutung dieses Werkes in Clarks Karriere und der Rockmusik der 70er Jahre. No Other ist ein bemerkenswertes Album, das Fans des Genres und von Gene Clark tiefere Einblicke in seine musikalische Vision gewährt. Es bietet eine Mischung aus Folk, Psychedelic und Country, die nicht nur für Clark, sondern auch für die Musikgeschichte von Bedeutung ist.

Quite a sound - the 1970s. Clear sound and sad.

Geen slecht album, maar ook niet speciaal. Makkelijk door geraakt, maar dit is niet echt een album dat ik ooit nog eens ga opleggen. De middenmoot dus 2.5

Easy listening, nothing offensive, quite enjoyed.

Rating: 6.5/10 Some really good instrumentation, better than any Byrds album so far.

This has the potential to be a grower - it was eclectic and interesting but I think would be better appreciated after several listens. But when am I ever gonna find the time?

I enjoyed this. Timestamp 1974!

Detta har jag missat helt. Snubblande nära en fyra.

Nice harmonies

3.5 Not what I expected, in a great way.

This felt like a Townes Van Zandt record to me - but with all of its roughness sanded off. All in all it was inoffensive but I won’t go back to it.

Pleasant enough that I won't mind hearing again but I won't seek it out. Generous 3

The record label and David Crosby really did old Gene dirty but he got the last laugh with this lovely country folk album with a little 70s flare.

Don't really remember the album... I think it grew on me though.

I’m 2 tracks in and my impression so far is pleasant but nothing yet to make me feel it’s a travesty this album isnt better known. OK I’ve listened to it twice now and I quite like it but I am still not convinced it’s a long lost classic so will rate it accordingly.

The write-up on this is wild. Having listened to a lot of albums on here now, why this would be a critical failure I have no idea, and the record company deleting it completely from their catalogue is mad. It's really nice. Well made, and well put together. He's got a nice voice, and some of the tracks are really lush. 3.5 rounded down.

First listen with no expectations. Enjoyed it, ranged from country rock to a bit psychedelic. I preferred the more country songs vocally and musically except I didn’t love the background vocals in general. Not something I’ll turn to in the future but glad I Took the time to listen.

Nothing really stood out to me. Didn't mind having it on.

American country

Never heard of this album before so was unsure what to expect going into it. Overall I’d say it’s a very well made bittersweet singer songwriter album with pretty solid writing and enjoyable songs. Sometimes production/mix feels a bit muddy there’s some weird panning in the first track that took me out of it a bit. Highlights are Silver Raven, No Other and Some Misunderstanding and True One. I think the opener is probably the weakest on the album. I enjoyed this more than I anticipated after the first track, it excels at creating this peaceful, albeit almost somber, longing feeling that I could definitely see scratching an itch if I was in a particular mood. This is one of those cases where I think this album is pretty good but maybe I’m just not in the right headspace or part of my life to really connect with it at the time of writing this review and listening for the generator. That being said as it stands it’s very solid, 3.5/5, could definitely see this growing to a 4 or higher given time.

Variopinto y muy universal, imposible ignorar su agradable visión musical

Gene Clark? Who? Cool, another chance to discover some new music...maybe. It's pretty good, 70's folksy rock with a country-twist, kinda Neil Young-ish at times. I guess Clark and Young were contemporaries so not sure who influenced whom. On another day this might have hit me different. Today it sounds like another 70's album that is highly praised, but I'm not entirely sure why. Guess you had to be there.

This album gave me like country/folk album meets psychedelic rock? It was kinda fun. The beats were interesting and I don't think this album ever got stale. Im not sure how often I'd return to this album, but I enjoyed it. Actual Rating is a 3.5. Liked Songs: "Life's Greatest Fool" , "Silver Raven" , "Strength Of Strings" , "From A Silver Phial" , "Some Misunderstanding"

Eén van de vier grootse songwriters grootgebracht door The Byrds, wat van die groep toch wel een extreem belangrijk knooppunt maakt in de West-Amerikaanse muziekgeschiedenis. Ik kende dit album van wat losse nummers, maar had het nooit een gehele luisterbeurt gegund. Wat best gek is, want de neerslachtige country van Gene Clark ligt me wel. Nadat ik hem net voor het eerst volledig heb geconsumeerd, trek ik een conclusie die ik eigenlijk nog niet bij veel platen heb gehad uit de generator. Ik vond het bij tijd en wijle een beetje ingewikkelde - en soms zelfs spirituele - folk, waardoor ik het gevoel heb dat één luisterbeurt lang niet genoeg is om de magie op waarde te schatten. Want dat het bijzonder kunstig en complex is voor z'n genre, dat hoor je wel. En wat je ook voelt is dat hij z'n hart op z'n tong heeft. Maar als totaalervaring is het worstelen om echt een wel afgewogen review te schrijven. Het is soms eeuwig meanderen door zwevende roots/folkmuziek, en soms adembenemend. 'No Other' en 'Some Misunderstanding' kende ik al, en die klikte daardoor wel veel makkelijker. Echter, het voor mij onbekende 'Strength of Strings' is aan het einde van de rit wel de song met de grootste potentie. Voor nu geef ik het album een 7, maar ik weet zeker dat dit hoger wordt na herhaaldelijke luisterbeurten. 7/10 Highlights: Strength of Strings Some Misunderstanding

Feels like three albums in a trenchcoat. The country folk is uninspired, the REM style rock ballads are kinda swingy But when he hits his stride in Strength of Strings and starts spitting about fiery rain and rubies?? I feel it; I feel the cosmos.

Statues of quite country which lead to an exasperated sigh but was actually quite good.

ranking up from 2.5 to a 3

No suprise it didn't leave much of a mark when it came out. It is pretty standard, nothing mindblowing.

Gene Clark was the name of Len’s 3rd wife. One of the more agreeable ones if you ask me. Sadly passed away from Testicular Cancer. Really shook the lot of us. No one really saw that coming. Apart from Len, he didn’t seem as surprised as the rest of us. But then grief does the strangest thing to people! 3.1

Please find my attached review:

Was alright nothing special

Another solid 3 that could go either way (2 or a 3.5). This was ok.

Really nothing interresting about this. Nothing bad either.

Pleasant but not earth shattering.

This album is a crazy fusion of R&B and folk. It's delightfully weird and a must-listen. Best tracks: "Silver Raven", "No Other".

Sounds like old school country. I know that turns a lot of people off. I didn’t mind it but also didn’t find anything that elevated it beyond a pleasant listen. 3/5

Love the album cover, never heard of him tho, but the name itself sounds familiar which there might just be smn with a name close to her. Anyway, no high expectations, I'll probably not hate it, but I really wanna like this, because as I said cover is actually giving, but I haven't looked in detail so it might become pale idkk. Pluss the genres are decent, nothing against them, I just want him to be a little special with em, no overused sounds basically. First song, country vibes already. Vocals came in early. It's upbeat, but also melancholic, especially lyrically. Looking at the cover in detail, it's still good and different from what I usually see. Ohh I like the piano on the left. The gospel nowww. There's gonna be a good ass instrumental soon, I think now. The guitar is guitaring but it's kinda soft and low effort. Ohhh Gene sang in the Byrds, didn't like em but this sounds good enough. It's permanent wave so I'm kinda bored. I like the ending part being fake upbeat, like there's gospel hyping it up but it's still not dancey(not that it should be). Second song, much better start. I'm not feeling his voice tbh. I like his vocalising tho. Sonically it's quite good, there's a headphone play too. Better than the last song honestly. The gospel is here too, expected, the quality of their sounding is kinda off tho, might be fixed in a remaster(if exists). It's giving Leonard Cohen, but I suppose it's weaker lyrically at least. Instrumental break is fine, but way too soft and nothing-bringer. The delivery of the chorus is quite unforgettable atp. Third song, a different start especially from him, it's giving Beatles more than the country style he had before. This one is definitely more rock than anything. I love the lyrical and sonical Interaction. Gospel is backkk, and they make it more lively, the song. I'm getting this gradually, but this isn't exactly my cup of tea. The chorus appeared and it's catchy in its own way. Instrumental break has a full on guitar going on. There's some experimental sounds around my ears, mmm. This one's definitely the best song for now. Album already low-key bended some genres but still stayed in its on pace and style, which I like. 4th song, long ass song, tho no complaints. Great start with this one, especially that drum drop. He's vocalising in a sad way, while also going with the instruments way of sound. This one's more chill I suppose. Piano appeared made it more upbeat for a time. Mmm this was all an intro and now the real song started, love me some cohesiveness. Only vocalising still, feels a little altered, I think it's not even him vocalising, because he started singing and that voice still went on. Kinda the sonical side is much better than the lyrical(I mean the voice more than the actual lyrics). Full stop. He comes in with some female vocalists singing the same thing. It's such a beautiful song in its own way. Instrumental break again, quite needed and deserved. Guitar is doing its work, now vocalising came in, it's quite an unforgettable delivery too. Immersiving myself into this song fully really did it for me, it's just that good. 5th song, I had a long long pause before I continued so don't mind me if I say some things again and again. Loved the start of this, which is close to how chorus is composed, the voice is actually low-key whimsy idk why. Production wise it's quite good. Ohhh now the instrumental break, with Idk what type of guitar. Sounds kinda permanent wave, even tho there is a chorus, but overall it does sound like a one way sung song. Low-key mellow, definitely not happy, but upbeat. Last parts have some familiar noises I must say, it's giving jazz. 6th song, 8 minutes is a lot, but I do like the start even tho it's kinda rushed. Permanent violin kinda sound has been added. Also the guitars are equally distributed to each ear. Soft drum rolling and he starts singing. Lyrics are sang after pauses, expected tbh. Too much sameness for such a long song tbh, not necessarily a bad song either so atp idk. It's growing on me damnn, I was zoned out too and this is the perfect progressive song for them daydreams(it's night tho). It's the sad instrumental break now electric guitar being soft af. The ending is becoming better and better especially with that choir, which I think was used before too here. The actual ending is just guitar guitaring. Oh damn production was really good in that 1 second of knocking damnnnn. 7th song, fun start, upbeat, but I can sense some sadness already. Lyrically it literally is I think, but I can't fully espress that idea. Now this one isss permanent wave, low-key isn't striking me as good. Ehhh he has done better songs and he knows it, this one just had a funky reggae kinda beat which made it fun nothing else mmm. The ending was a whole instrumental break, nothing special again. 8th song, love the production, but everything else is just bland, even that became basic over time. Cant wait to finish it wtff ughhh. Too much dumb vocaling I thinkk. I think he self referenced himself, but I don't fully recognize it, the ending part is quite good if he made those good endings his whole song, I'd like it more than I do now. Mmm all in all I liked it, I expected as much as this, however the rating can't be higher or equal to 4, it's just not that good for me at least. These songs might become good overtime if I spend enough time with them, but even in that sense I don't see how that's gonna make me feel better or accomplished, basically this album as a listening experience mmm it's not bad, in other ways it's just not it, so 3 stars is sufficient, I just didn't vibe with this one, mara the album cover the production, some quirky parts makes it listenable and fun rather fully boring.

Neil Young did it better.

I don't actually like country music that much. I have changed my mind somewhat, especially in connection with this project. Nevertheless, I remain reserved about the genre. The first bars of the first track on the album confirmed my caution. But it quickly got better. Overall, the album wasn't bad, but it was too much in the country style, which I don't like. 3/5

Not bad but I wouldn't rush out and buy it.

Voice sounds rather like Steven Stills.

I never listened to this album. I'll definitely put it in my mix with Townes Van Zandt.

Sounds like a poor man’s Neil Young. Would rather listen to Neil Young.

I had no idea who Gene Clark was before listening to this. But he reminds me a lot of Townes Van Zandt. Similar vibe/music.

I like The Byrds and all but this is firmly whatever.

What an unexpected treat! Great vibe to this album!

At first I thought Oh Dear! this is Country - I don't really like Country - but it's much more than I thought! By track 3 (No Other) I was quite enjoying it. There are some interesting arrangements and good guitar solos (which I do like).

Completely new to me. Only managed three listens. First three songs were not promising (especially the awful No Other). Strength of Strings is proper standout though and everything after that is very cool in a Glenn Campbell/Neil Young on LSD sort of way. Feels like a proper attempt to try something new.

Country rock soothing melodies! Probably quite good for its time and i have listened to it before. It's a lovely cover and I recognise Strength of Strings as a cover from Immortal Coil. Did it land with me? Not so much. But a nice ride nevertheless!

Need to give it another listen.

In 2014 I saw singers from Beach House, Fleet Foxes, and Grizzly Bear cover this album front to back and idk if I’ll ever be that Obama-era hipster ever again

Surprised I’d never heard of him since he has such a classic rock sound.

never heard of it but it was decent 70s LA country-rock

Chill country/rock sound from the early 80s reminiscent of Flying Burrito Brothers

Very good melodies. Enjoyed it quite a lot. High 3

Not a lot to say really; it just sort of washed over me which was rather nice.

I liked this one.

I hadn't heard of Gene Clark, ex Byrd apparently, but this album was a good listen. Most songs (not all, e.g. the title song) sound very Neil Young like, just not quite as good. The main difference being the voice... I know Neil Young "can't sing" but his voice is 100x more musical and interesting. Gene Clark "can sing" but his voice is a bit dull. Good songs, not amazing, but as my wife said "pleasant while reading a book".

Track 1, honky tonk -- not my thing. Digging the later tracks way more -- Strength of Strings is beautiful, sounds like a David Gilmour track

I didn't think much of the last Gene Clark album we got, but this was a bit better. A bit of a mixed bag though.; so e songs I quite liked (Strength of Strings) others (especially the more country ones) less so (True One). Weak three.

Sorry not for me

Pretty solid - unremarkable but good. Wasn't expecting to like it, seemed like it was a polarizing album for critics.

It's ok, but I will not revisit this

Not the kind of country I tend to fancy. Frankly pretty good, but I wouldn't come back to it.

2.5 rounded up not bad, especially compared to the other country albums i’ve listened to off this list, but also just not for me. groovy as hell album cover tho—i’ll give it a slight bump for that highlights: silver raven, no other, strength of strings (apr 7 2026)

Sometimes sounds like Neil Young with a touch of Jason Molina, otherwise more country

Nice background during this morning’s abysmal chess performance

some nice vibes that i will not remember

Música tranqui para una lazy morning. Da buen rollo.

Not a bad listen. Felt like a relaxed 70s rock album. 3 stars

Old country is so different than new country and I always really enjoy it. I feel like this one landed in the 3.5 realm, but if I listened to it in the right atmosphere it would get the bump.

Damn No Other slaps. I love the dirty sounding bass on it. Ears perked up when I heard it. This sounded super similar to some Neil Young (in a good way). Was worried a little when I saw country and gospel but it was a good listen. High 3 but will be back for No Other.

i liked it. mellow.

Good Production, good sound. Not outstanding. Just another american singer-songwriter in the early seventies.

3.5 at points it faded into the background but I really like the sound

Interesting first listen. Not sure why it received such bad reviews and then years later it’s considered a gem of this genre.

Never heard, not bad.

Great musicianship. Not such a compelling album.

Not memorable but fine.

Kind of a snoozer

Neil Young's 60s/early 70s albums get pretty hokey, and the enduring question is why that doesn't seem to matter for NY. This album is the answer to 'what if that balance tipped?'. Strength of Strings is Words (Between the Lines of Age) made bland. The psychedelic rock melded in has the effect of smoothing things out, the last thing you want when there's already a ton of sounds going nowhere. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

Can’t say I was dazzled by this, but it far exceeded my expectations of an album that was made by some guy from the Byrds. Cool early alt-country.

i bet this is better than i think but i’m blazing through an album a day and i’m afraid i’m missing out on some of the subtler ones, the price of our accelerated age!

Good album but not great. Uneven imho. Not a fan of his voice.

Enjoyed it on first listen through andr really enjoyed a few tracks on repeat listens. Strength of Strings and Lady of the North were highlights

Pleasant enough, don't love the country twang but found the vocals compelling.

First listen Saved 4/8 Top track: No Other

En we gaan weer door met de Midzomer! Weer een album waarvan ik denk "Goh, had ik dit nou echt niet willen missen?" Het is iets wat ik gehoord heb, het is iets wat soms best prima klinkt, maar ook wederom niet iets waar ik van roep "YES, WAT HEB IK DIT NOG NOOIT EERDER GEHOORD!!!!" Wel toegegeven, het is wel iets interessanter dan je zoveelste rock album. Maar goed, het heeft wat country invloeden en wat psychrock invloeden. Dat is meteen ook het spannendste dat ik er over kan zeggen. Prima album, ik ga het nooit meer luisteren. FAVO: No other, Strength of strings

Some interesint tunes with a little hint of Neil Young. Nothing too exciting though.

Gene Clark was the lead singer of the Byrds, and No Other is is the fourth of his solo albums. This album was a critical and commercial failure at its release. A release after Clark's death inspired a critical reevaluation. This is a good collection of country rock songs, very much in keeping with the music that was popular in the mid-70s. These are good, but not particularly great songs.

not a bad 70s albums, some replayable songs, prob a 3.5 but gets a 3

Hey, it's some pretty good country-type stuff.

This was a good album in my opinion! I don’t have many complaints however I think it’s just music that I’m content listening to but I don’t really have a strong connection to it and therefore I can’t really praise it. It was nice and not obnoxious but that’s all I have.

I get a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or their subsequent solo work vibe from this. I guess Gene Clark was a member of the Byrds so I'm kind of surprised I didn't make that association while listening. There's a lot to like here overall and I found it to be a pleasant listen.

Album 417 of 1001 Gene Clark - No Other Rating : 3.5 / 5 Decent album but nothing really to write home about. Spreads across several genres, I would say. Asylum Records, did not promote the album, and by 1976 had deleted it from their catalog. In the early 2000s, it made a reappearance and has been received well, since. Some gentle songwriting that probably doesn't really ring as such until it's over and you're still feeling it.

There's great musicianship and songwriting on this album, but it's not what I'm into. There's some solid bass playing throughout. (Ha, I just looked it up and Leland Sklar played bass on this album, so that makes sense!)

It's alright

Ruhig, Country, passt auch als Hintergrundmusik

Good stuff. Nice background music to life. Nothing remarkable stood out but happy to have it playing.

It’s not a bad album. After the first song, I would have gone so far as to say I liked it. By the last song, I liked it less, though I’m not entirely sure why. Each song on its own is solid. But you put them all together and it kind of leaves you going, “ok, enough already.” The vocal melodies are somewhat bland and drawn out. Maybe a stronger, fuller voice could have pulled this off successfully. Unrelated, the album cover neither matches nor compliments the music. Not a great artistic choice there, IMO. 3.0

Decent, no outstanding song but a pleasant listen. Feels like there is something great here i just cant find it, sadly.

Lemme say off the bat, I don't think it's bad. It's a perfectly good mix of country rock, gospel... There's some R&B in there, too, I 'spose. I can hear how the melodies would do it for me. But the thing is, I gotta agree with the most-liked review of this album on this website. And even before I saw that review, there was just this vibe I got off the album that if I grew up listening to it I'd like it a **lot** more than I do. If it was there for me alongside THE WALL, ABBEY ROAD and Weird Al's complete discography, sure, maybe. But hearing it now, in 2024, in my mid-late 20's, sandwiched between all the other music I love and want to listen to more... I can only say it's just fine. I'unno, maybe you'll get more out of it than I did.

I dunno… it’s a 3.5 that I think I’ll round down? Ultimately, I think it’s harder for me to fairly rate this album because Spotify just doesn’t display the lyrics like that, and to follow along on say, Genius, or something, takes away from the excellence found in a lot of the soundscapes. I can’t fully appreciate the lyrics without sacrificing paying attention to basslines, or backing vocals, or acoustics or electric guitar or synths. The same is true in a vice-versa sense. Ultimately, though, I really enjoyed listening to this. It’s super chill music, and from the lyrics I have looked up, it’s got good storytelling chops. I do think the vocals are one of the weaker parts of the album, but ultimately, for 1974, I think this is really innovative stuff. Solid album, I wish I could stick to a 3.5, but I just don’t think I can round it up because it never REALLY blew me away like that. Strong 3, like a 7/10 again.

честно? просто норм

ну кантри рок... да хз алкоальбом: пятый шот водки

Nice. It's not the Byrds nice, but nice. Wasn't familiar with it at all, and, having done some further reading, I'm not entirely convinced that it's some fantastical lost gem. But it is nice.

Not my jam, but not bad music.

Some nice folky melodies going on. Quite psychedelic in areas with some good backing vocals. Nice blues kicks reminiscent of pink floyd In some areas for me personally. However, most of the songs were just ok. Decent album but was neither here or there for me.

oaaaa 7/10

Beginning and end was pretty good - love the prog country sound. The middle part drug.

might relisten

Un album devenu un classique des années après la mort de l'artiste. Un navet lors de sa sortie. On est dans des ballades rêveuses avec un beau fond de piano. S'écoute bien par jour de pluie comme aujourd'hui.

Gene Clark's "No Other" is a bold and ambitious album that showcases his talents as a songwriter and musician. Released in 1974, the album features lush production and intricate arrangements that set it apart from Clark's earlier work with The Byrds. The standout track, "Strength of Strings," is a haunting and epic song that highlights Clark's distinctive voice and poetic lyrics. Other tracks, such as "Silver Raven" and "Life's Greatest Fool," also showcase Clark's songwriting prowess. However, while "No Other" is undeniably ambitious, its sprawling arrangements and complex production can sometimes feel overwhelming. The album's dense soundscapes may not be to everyone's taste, and some listeners may find it difficult to connect with. Overall, "No Other" is a fascinating album that deserves attention for its boldness and ambition. However, its dense production and complex arrangements may not appeal to all listeners, earning it a solid but not exceptional rating of 3 out of 5.

Het begint als country, wappert daarna meer richting jaren 70-singersongwriters. Een soort Eagles gekruist met Paul McCartney en Billy Joel. Maar dan allemaal net wat minder goed. En in dat genre ligt de lat gezien genoemde namen toch wel redelijk hoog. Ik weet niet wie deze Gene Clark is, maar met 'wel aardige' muziek schop je het hier niet ver.

Het begint wat country-achtig. Dus mijn verwachting schiet achteruit. Wel veel aandacht voor het geluid voor dit soort muziek. Gelukkig is het eerste nummer niet representatief. Een nummer als Strength of Strings is echt een heel ander geluid. Maar ook hierbij veel aandacht voor het geluid. Dat lijkt de overkoepelende factor. Het is ondanks de rust in de nummers allemaal wat theatraal geproduceerd. Het album heeft alle aandacht gekregen. Dat kan ik waarderen. Maar het ligt ver bij mijn smaak vandaan.

It's nice, sad, a little Neil Young. I know this is one of those much loved cult albums, but for me it was interesting and diverting, but I didn't find anything I loved.

When I was generated this album, I knew I recognised Gene Clark’s name but I couldn’t place where from. After a little googling, I realised he is a member of The Byrds, whom I’ve really enjoyed so far, so I go into this quite optimistically today. Let’s listen! Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Some Misunderstanding This album was ok, but I was definitely hoping for better. On reflection, the vocal harmonies of The Byrds is one of my favourite aspects of them, so having one member would reasonably contain less of this. Regardless, I still found this to feel emptier than I hoped. It was still decent, and it was nice as some background music while working, but is unlikely an album that I’ll be purposefully seeking out again.

Nice solid country tinged rock. Which is what I would expect. Nothing though with the level of the Byrds. No really catchy songs.

At first listen, I was thinking this was just a country western guy I’d suffer through, but then the second song had a vibe similar to an MTV unplugged. The third song got kinda psychedelic and that got me wanting to keep going. Not bad overall.

This album takes a tonal shift almost immediately, starting with "No Other". It's almost like a country-psychedelic rock fusion all throughout, which is interesting I'll say.

plush, beige, marbled wall-to-wall carpeting and walnut veneered furniture...

Contemplative, type with vibes of country music.

An interesting blend of country and 60s pop rock. Gene Clark and his band deliver a charming sound in this record. I must confess that I am not a big fan of this style of music, but will definitely come back to one or two of these tracks

It's okay - Good for background music but not something I'd opt to listen to again.

Had never heard this album and when it first started, my reaction was “oh boy, another one of THESE albums.” But I’ll admit, it got more interesting as it went on. Some moments that I enjoyed, but ultimately not one I’ll be rushing to come back to again.

A sweeping and occasionally beautiful country(?) album. Sometimes a little too syrupy and overlong. Best song: Life’s Greatest Fool

Ok album, do not agree it's a 'lost treasure' but enjoyed it

A lot of the sameness through the album. It does transport you though and has a sense of nostalgia.

Its ok

Who? Not as bad as I figured it would be

Yeah alright

Not one of the greatest albums of all time, but a solid outing.

Nice 70s sounding country album

It's ok, but almost every song reminded me of another song I'd rather be listening to

This was…okay. I found some of the moments in this record a little catchy but overall a lot of it just didn’t resonate with me in the slightest. I think I just prefer his previous work with The Byrds a bit more. I will say that from a lyrical standpoint he delivers even if instrumentally it lacks for me.

surprisingly okay

Sorta generic, mellow, early 70's music. I don't here the passion that I hope for.

Never heard of this or the artist but I enjoyed the album. A nice surprise
